Lurking among the consequences of the late Ayn Rand's literary career we find @atlasshrugs, an automated Twitter account named after her longest novel that pretty much does nothing but retweet anti-Islam blogger @PamelaGeller. #AynRandBedtimeStories #AltWankers

Despite being named after a book about rugged individualism, @atlasshrugs is not unique; @AFDINational and @SIOAmerica tweet the same content (@PamelaGeller RTs) on the same schedule. All 3 post via dlvr . it; the majority of Geller's own tweets are automated via the same service
What do these accounts tweet about? Since they retweet @PamelaGeller, they specialize in anti-Islam propaganda and conspiracy theories. Almost all media links lead to Geller's own site.
The three pure bots (@AFDINational, @atlasshrugs, and @SIOAmerica) all appear to have been associated with past @PamelaGeller projects. This fact plus the similarity in the execution of the accounts suggests that Geller or someone in her orbit operates all four.
